The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable

Chapter 3

At dawn, illuminated by the morning sun, the cruise ship was enveloped by a golden halo.

Qiao Mu sighed in contentment and stretched. But the moment she moved, she realized that there was something beside her…

She turned subconsciously and saw a person’s body. She immediately froze.

Copper skin, sexy abs and muscular legs… A blanket covered his crotch.

Qiao Mu blinked. She only regained her senses after a long time, and she immediately turned pale.

A man was lying beside her!

She immediately became extremely confused.

She lowered her head and realized that she was no longer wearing her cardigan, and that she was only wearing her tube dress. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was not naked…

Qiao Mu’s mind was in the mess. She could not remember what had happened the day before at all. She got out of bed in a flurry, picked up her cardigan from the floor and dashed out of the room.

Qiao Mu did not look at the face of the man beside her from the beginning to the end. She did not realize that the man had woken up before she did either. He could see the way she panicked and how flustered she was.

Li Yan watched as the petite figure fled the scene. He rose and rested his back against the headboard. There was a slight, playful smile on his face. He looked sexy and mysterious.

…..

Qiao Mu returned home from the cruise ship and locked herself in her room. She kept trying to recall what had happened the day before, but her mind was blank.

After she fled the scene and went back to the room she shared with Chi Xia in the morning, Chi Xia was still asleep. She woke Chi Xia up and asked the latter about what had happened the day before, but Chi Xia only remembered that they had gone back to their room and slept after they got drunk.

But why did she wake up in someone else’s room?

Qiao Mu tapped her head with force. She had just turned eighteen. Why was fate so eager to introduce her to the world of adulthood!?

Fortunately, she did not lose her virgin*ty! Qiao Mu swore that she would never get drunk for no reason again.

Someone knocked on the door, and a shrill voice rang out. “Qiao Mu, why the heck are you hiding in the room the moment you came back? Everyone at home is super busy. Do you know what day tomorrow is? You’re the only one at home who’s doing nothing!”

Qiao Mu got out of bed, opened the door and saw that Qiao Ya was standing furiously outside the room. She muttered, “Big sister, you don’t have to remind me about this. I have not forgotten that it’s Aunt Yun’s birthday tomorrow.”

“Hmph, what’s the point of remembering if you’re going to do nothing about it? You’re not involved in the preparations for her birthday dinner at all. It’s so obvious that you’re not her birth daughter!” Qiao Ya snorted coldly and stared angrily at Qiao Mu’s bare, oval face.

Qiao Ya was five years older than Qiao Mu, and she wore thick makeup every day. She did not look her age at all.

Qiao Mu flashed an innocent smile and nodded in agreement. “Big sister, you make sense. Since I’m not her birth child, of course I’m not as caring and attentive as you. Aunt Yun must be very touched to know that she has a daughter like you who’s earnestly preparing for her birthday party, so I don’t want to mess things up.”

“You…”

“Big sister, I had a little too much fun during my birthday party yesterday, and I didn’t get to rest well. I’m going to take a short rest now. Do you ahead and do what you have to,” Qiao Mu said and shut the door. She did not care about how dark Qiao Ya’s expression was.

Like what Qiao Ya had said, they did not share the same mother.

Qiao Ya’s mother, Yu Tingyun, was their father’s official wife, which makes Qiao Ya their father’s legitimate daughter. And Qiao Mu was nothing but the daughter of the woman her father, Qiao Jiannan, accidentally impregnated when he was drunk.

Qiao Mu had stayed with the Qiao family ever since she was five, and she was nothing but an illegitimate child who did not get to see the light of day at home. Fortunately, she had always been a clever girl and was able to navigate the hardships in life with ease.

Qiao Mu sighed when she thought about Yu Tingyun’s forty-fifth birthday party tomorrow. She hated this kind of occasion as Qiao Ya was definitely waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
